Parametric Modelling
It maintains consistent relationships between elements as the model is manipulated. For example, in a parametric building modeler, if the pitch of the roof is changed, the walls automatically follow the revised roof line.

I hope I could give you these messages:
Parametric Modeling allows the designer to create a
flexible package by which he can make different, desirable variations of his/her design (for him/herself or the client) Grasshopper is a kind of visual, tree-like scripting which makes it possible for the designers who aren t that much familiar with programming to see and follow their designs live and dynamically !
